Rush Hour Observation: A Mercedes owner with a sense of humor.
Note the vanity plate: LMFA0

My 2-year contract expired with Verizon Wireless on May 9, 2007, which meant that I was eligible for a phone upgrade at a “discount.” I knew I wanted to get a SmartPhone/PDA this time, but wasn’t sure which model would suit my needs. Posting a plea for advice on HawaiiThreads.com, I received some sage counsel from none other than Ryan, who is doing pretty much what I want to do — but on a much larger scale. If the price point was fair, I decided that I would get the Palm Treo 700p. Luckily, with my corporate discount and a $150 rebate, I was able to score the device for about $250. (If you got yours for cheaper, please don’t tell me. I hate feeling ripped off.)

So, you’ll be seeing more of these kinds of random, spontaneous shots on my blog from now on and more Twitter updates, too. (Which can also be found on the right sidebar under the “What I’m doing” heading.) I feel so connected!
